Genes affected

CASQ2 (HGNC:1513): (calsequestrin 2) The protein encoded by this gene specifies the cardiac muscle family member of the calsequestrin family. Calsequestrin is localized to the sarcoplasmic reticulum in cardiac and slow skeletal muscle cells. The protein is a calcium binding protein that stores calcium for muscle function. Mutations in this gene cause stress-induced polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, also referred to as catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia 2 (CPVT2), a disease characterized by bidirectional ventricular tachycardia that may lead to cardiac arrest.

Benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Sep 25, 2019	Variant summary: CASQ2 c.738-12_738-5delTTTTTTTT alters a nucleotide located close to a canonical splice site and therefore could affect mRNA splicing, leading to a significantly altered protein sequence. 5/5 computational tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0079 in 17666 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.023 within the African or African-American subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within African or African-American control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 5 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in CASQ2 causing Arrhythmia phenotype (0.0045), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of African or African-American origin. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. However, multiple variants involving deletion of different number of Ts in this region have been reported as benign in ClinVar. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -
